Goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund secured the win for Erik ten Hag's side on a disappointing night for the Magpies. Anthony Gordon's second-half equaliser and Lewis Hall's late strike gave them hope, but it wasn't enough as the race for Europe heads to the final game of the Premier League season.")
